History

Some nutty vanilla altern'atini versions include Irish cream liqueur, but a small amount detracts from the pistachio notes.

The origins of this dessert cocktail remain undocumented. It is, however, a popular choice in Boston, Massachusetts' North End neighborhood, where many bars and restaurants serve it, and several lay claim to its creation.
